It's always better if you actually catch something, too. I got
a feeling with that until I get the knee worked on I'll be
doing a little more fishing in the future.  I don't know how
that works out with the wife wanting to hike, and I'm not keen
on her going off in the wilderness by herself.  Probably get a
new knee late this fall and try to be back in the game by next
year.

Hope it works out as well as possible!

Out in Utah that feeling of resentment bothered me.  After
several miles and the knee starting to swell up and become
painful walking, it seemed all I could think of was how good
it would be to finish up, get back and be able to sit and have
about 2 beers and feel the pain lessen.  That's when I decided
I was going to take back my rights to choose how I live. I
totally understand I am a person who likes it perhaps more
than "normal" people, but things have certainly changed.  I
simply have no desire to party like I used to.  I actually
prefer to drink by myself, to be honest.  2-3 beers is just
about right.  20 years ago, that was not the case.

 A twelve pack a year is about my maximum beer consumption rate
 and that’s just one beer at a sitting. I do have a shot or two
 of bourbon a few times a year.  I remember too vividly what
 hangovers feel like and I am completely over that.

Sounds pretty healthy, in both cases.
